Perched within the scenic foothills of Mount Helix, this inviting single-level residence offers over half an acre of usable land (0.61 acres), blending modern comfort with a peaceful and private setting.  A long, private driveway sets the tone as you arrive to a light-filled interior where exposed beam ceilings, an arched fireplace, and a classic tiled hearth create a warm yet refined atmosphere. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept layout is enhanced by stylish laminate and luxury vinyl plank flooring, seamlessly connecting the living spaces to the refreshed kitchen.
